Episode 144. Garbage (3)

Next day.
The morning also began at the home of the Seohwa Group family.
Seo Myung-won got up from his comfortable bed and went down to the first floor, getting ready to go to work.
Seo Ye-hwa, the daughter, was also at her parents’ house, so there was nothing to be disturbed.
On the first floor, a temporary helper was preparing breakfast.
“Are you awake?”
Seo Kang-guk, who woke up at dawn, was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading the newspaper with the news on.
Seeing this, Seo Seo-won smiled comfortably and approached.
“Did your father sleep well?”
“not bad. Hmm— It’s a little bit like the daughter-in-law can’t prepare breakfast for you.”
“… kinda like that What about your mother?”
“I left early because I had a breakfast meeting. At first, they said they wouldn’t go out, but then the women at the gathering said they would chew on my daughter-in-law and grab her by the hair.”
“ah… … .”
Seo Myung-won smiled lightly and turned his gaze to the TV.
I could barely hear it because the volume was turned down. Then, when I saw what was on the screen, I couldn’t help but harden my face.
It was because of what came out under the news screen.
[Breaking news, the famous ‘L’ club near Sapyeong Station in Gangnam gets involved in a fight with a local gang… … .]
So, when Seo Myung-won took out his cell phone and searched, the articles came out as he saw on TV.
[Gangnam ‘D’ club, closed? The reason is that?]
[Watching a number of gangsters entering the ‘L’ club, what did the police do… … .]
What I checked in detail was more spectacle.
Seo Myung-won was about to go out immediately. So Kang-guk, who was covering the newspaper, asked in surprise.
“Aren’t you going to eat breakfast?”
“I remembered something important. Excuse me.”
Seo Myeong-won, who went outside, got into the car and called Ahn Hee-won.
[The number you just dialed is turned off…]
Seo Myung-won’s expression turned cold at the sound he heard over the receiver.
However, it was impossible to visit Club Lete right away. It was a place that on the surface had nothing to do with it, so I could just go there and leave a trace.
Besides, this morning there was a meeting that I was going to preside over for the first time on behalf of my father.
His position within the group was always strong, but it was also very important because it was also a position that was clearly recognized by executives.
“ha-“
As Seo Myeong-won’s eyebrows furrowed, the driver and bodyguard noticed.
She was a bodyguard hired separately for the Seohwa Group daughter-in-law case. Of course, they didn’t know the back side of Seo Myeong-won, so they thought there was something wrong.
“what… Any problems?”
“Oh, no.”
At the bodyguard’s question, Seo Myeong-won turned his face away again and hid his nervousness.
It wasn’t long before I was able to arrive at the company.
“The office check has been completed.”
“… thank you.”
I was talking about wiretapping and camera inspection. In addition to the home, it is now possible to openly inspect devices from the office.
With Secretary Nam’s report, I went into Seo Myung-Won’s office.
As soon as the door closed, Seo Myeong-won wanted to scream or throw something, but he held back.
“What the hell happened… … .”
Ahn Hee-won’s phone was still off.
The only window to check why Club Lete was on the news was dead, so it was frustrating.
Still, I had to do my job.
Seo Myung-won sighed as he sat down at his desk and sorted out the papers for the meeting.
A little while later, I got a phone call.
Tee-
[Director, it’s time to enter the meeting.]
“All right.”
I left the office and went to the meeting room with secretary Nam.
Employees and executives at the level of team leader or higher at Seohwa Group headquarters were all sitting around.
Seo Myung-won took his seat at the top of the table in the conference room.
“As always, I will thoroughly check, think, and decide for the benefit of the company. Let’s start now.”
Everyone was seated in a calm atmosphere.
Team leaders from each team presented their main project.
This was a meeting that would last all day.
Employees at or above the manager receive a presentation of the project and give their opinions, and sometimes pros and cons are formed.
It was a time when the atmosphere of the meeting was ripe.
Tooth-supporting weave— Tooth-supporting weave—
The noise that suddenly distorted the screen caught the eyes of those who were looking at the documents alternately.
Eyes came and went even with the project beam hanging from the ceiling.
“If there is a problem with the device, we will take action quickly.”
It was then. Everyone was relieved for a moment as the noise disappeared from the screen.
But what came to the screen wasn’t about the project that was just being announced.
It was a video. The volume was turned up and a groaning sound came out.
[What do you think your b*tch can do here! uh!]
[Kyaaak-!]
At that moment, the female employees closed their eyes tightly and turned their heads.
The male staff also frowned and couldn’t see properly.
The man turned around on the screen, his face clearly visible.
A few people who couldn’t take their eyes off the screen for a moment burst into sighs.
This is because Seohwa Group’s only successor, Seo Hwa Group, who is currently sitting in the highest position, was Director Seo Myung-won.
“What are you doing! Turn it off right now!”
Seo Myeong-won, who was dumbfounded, hurriedly shouted.
The team leader who was in front heard the cry and continued to press the power button with the remote control.
[Vol. 30%]
[Vol. 65%]
[Vol. 80%]
The volume went up without turning off the power.
I didn’t know how it was in English.
“This, this won’t go off!”
“Then find a wire and pull it out!”
Seo Myung-won, who was always respectful to the staff, shouted in short words from earlier.
Meanwhile, the screen changed to something else. This time, it was a video with another woman. Again, only the female figure was covered.
With the increased volume, a sound that people shouldn’t know rang out.
“Take it off somehow!”
The images on the screen kept changing.
Things took a turn for the worst.
Then, the video changed again, and the two men were sitting on the sofa talking.
They were Seo Myung-Won and Ahn Hee-Won. Of course, people were only able to clearly identify the signature source.
[shut up… … .]
[Women? Are you alive?]
[If you’re curious… Did you check it?]
.
.
[Whoa— I’m going to die.]
[Is it fun to live like that? If this is the case, why did you even get married and have a baby?]
[Did I give birth? And it’s fun. A kid who believes in everything he says… But it’s not easy these days.]
.
.
The conversation between the two shocked the people in the conference room.
But it didn’t end there.
[How many do you need?]
[About four or five? Disguise yourself as a robber and rob my house once, follow the mother and threaten her.]
[…] what? What kind of crazy is that?]
[You can cross the line in moderation, so just do it properly. I’ll give you a generous price.]
.
.
“omg… … .”
Everyone who watched the screen swallowed up their surprise and could not open their mouths easily.
Then some turned their heads back.
Seo Seo-won was staring at the screen trembling. Then, he quickly calmed down his broken heart and said,
“That is a manipulated video! There’s no way I could have acted and said something like that!”
“… … .”

No one answered the question that sounded like his cry.
Whether the video is real or fake, the image on the screen made the warm and cool image of Seo Myung-won harden like concrete.
“I don’t know who’s tricking it, but it’s definitely a conspiracy! It’s all fabricated! Call the police immediately!”
With those words, Seo Myeong-won spurred the meeting room door and left.
In the meeting room, the clattering voices of the people began to grow loud enough to cover the sound of the video.
Then, Secretary Nam, who was following Seo Myung-won, was surprised when he checked his cell phone.
“Hey, sir. You should check this out.”
“What is it this time!”
The cell phone was brought out. In it, breaking news through Internet articles flowed out.
[The video of the atrocities of director S of ‘ㅅ’ group randomly shared by companies near Gangnam, Seoul… . The person is famous for having a good image… . It seems that the prosecution needs to check the facts… … .]
It wasn’t just the Seohwa group that the video came out.
As it was shared with nearby companies, it started to spread.
Seo Myeong-won, who was watching the breaking news, had bloodshot eyes. It was because it would not end just by blocking the video from the conference room.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
The cell phone rang in Seo Myeong-won’s arms.
At that moment, Seo Myeong-won thought it was Ahn Hee-won and confirmed it, but when he looked at the screen, it was a call from his father, Seo Kang-guk.
“… hello.”
[Myeong-won! what happened! I was looking for a mess with your video, but what is this… … !]
Because it was completely unbelievable.
“Father, it was all fabricated. I can’t do that.”
[I know. Am I not too good at asking like this!]
“I’ll find out who he is. I’ll call the police right away, so my father… Please check on my mother and wife.”
[i get it. Find out soon.]
When the call ended, Seo Seo-won’s teeth clenched and his fists clenched tightly.
Then the phone rang again.
It was Lee Doo-yeong, the father of his wife Lee Mi-jin and father-in-law.
[…] What are you doing on the news right now?]
Unlike his father Seo Kang-guk, he had a cold voice.
Seo Myung-won, who was thinking while listening to the voice, spoke as before.
“It was fabricated. You don’t believe me, do you?”
[…] Whoever sees it, it’s your face, it’s your voice… Is there any reason not to believe it?]
“I can’t do that!”
Excusing Seo Myeong-won like that, he got into the elevator with his secretary and went into his office.
Until then, understanding and persuasion toward father-in-law continued.
Soon, the voice of Lee Doo-young, the father-in-law, came out coldly over the receiver.
[It’s not just what I saw on the news. I also have a separate video. there you kid… … .]
Lee Doo-young, whose emotions were intensifying, held it in. It was because there was someone by his side.
[Don’t even think about seeing Yehwa with our Mijin until it’s clearly explained. Don’t even tell your in-laws.]
“Father-in-law! master-“
pop-
The call ended just like that.
Seo Myung-Won’s face was completely crumpled because his eyebrows were not enough. This is because everything that had been thoroughly guarded until now was on the verge of collapse.
Then, a cold, heavy voice came out of Seo Myung-Won’s mouth.
“Such a crazy inspiration… what? Do you dare not see me? Lee Mi-jin, thanks to someone else, she eats well and lives well. Yehwa was born thanks to someone!”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
The phone rang again. It was Lee Doo-yeong, the father-in-law who had just finished the call.
Soon, Seo Myung-won changed his face and atmosphere again and said.
“Come on, father-in-law!”
[You crazy bastard. what? That b*tch to my daughter? Who is my granddaughter born to? I know how to leave a bastard like you alone!]
pop-
The phone hung up after Lee Doo-young said what he wanted to say.
At the same time, when he looked at his phone, Seo Myung-won’s face went white. Then I turned my gaze around.
Hook— Hook—
I ran to my desk and took out the detector I had been using before and swung it around.
A light flickered on a wooden statue of a woman the size of a forearm that had been placed in front of her as she had just spoken on the phone. Something was detected.
Looking closely, I could see something in the eyes and mouth of the statue. Surprised, Seo Myeong-won threw the statue away.
The camera and microphone then rolled out of the broken statue.
Something that had been said not to exist until morning came out.
“aaagh—!”
Everything in Seomyeongwon collapsed before morning passed.
